Thanks Chris, I was just watching that - it is one FIDDLY NASTY COMPLICATED and CONVOLUTED program!!! All I want to do is diddle around with a few images but I have to go through all this ridiculous rigmarole importing/opening sessions/opening catalogues/naming them/backing them up before I can even start working on any images. I find this guy's tutorial (albeit very thorough) a bit fast and jerky - I've had to do a LOT of pausing and replaying. I think he might be demonstrating an older version too because the crucial bit (where I am stuck) looks different.
I am now stuck at the importing from a "catalogue" to a "session" stage.
I'm close to giving up.
Thanks Slapshot, CS6 does work up to a point but it doesn't handle Fuji raw (RAF) files very well (and it point blank refuses to process HDRs). Capture One is one of two programs that came up tops for extracting the best detail from Fuji Xtrans sensor equipped cameras.
My plan *was* to process the raw files in Capture One, then scurry back to my familiar CS6 comfort zone with the results to finish off!
*sigh*
